This is one of those desserts where you take one bite and want to shout about it’s goodness to everyone near! But only your pup is near! So you tell him even though he can’t have chocolate so he can’t get thaaaaaaaaat excited. It’s one of those tasty treats that you almost eat in the car on your way to give it to someone. It’s the kind you bring into work to share, and eat…
Over the past couple months things have changed. You see, I cancelled my cable. (I was watching too much of the Oprah Winfrey Network anyway.) I’ve been purchasing the girliest bath products. My nails are chippy and my hair is up. And the weather’s changed too. It’s gotten REALLY hot, so I’ve been no baking things like these little squares of crunchy heaven. Can you believe I gave them all away? But who wouldn’t want…
I can’t stop thinking about these peaches! I might have to make them for my parents when they visit. I think everyone would love them! I made these for a special summer issue of Michigan Blue Magazine. They wanted simple but classy dishes to show off local produce. We did our best to make all of the fruity goodness look like major hotties. OH! I made a total of 4 recipes for this feature. Check back for…
My blog turned three last Tuesday! In dog years it can drink legally! I figured that for this birthday I’d revisit my Mom’s Chocolate Chip Cookies, since they’re probably the first thing ever baked on my own in my life, and since they’re delicious. So thanks guys for visiting my blog ever! It means the world to me! Without this little spot of the internet I would’ve never met Cindy in real life, and she’s the…
Saturday morning I walked the pup and came home starving only to realize I had a measly amount of cereal, and no bread for toasting. Since I like to start my day with carbs, it was a breakfast emergency. I scavenged around and realized I had just the right amount of stuff to make these oatmeal pancakes! I threw the batter together, and gobbled these up with just enough time to get out the door to…
I hated summer camp. The first time I went it was the summer after 3rd grade. Picture it: scrawny redhead with long bangs and long hair, wearing a lot of neon… with a fanny pack on daily. And well, my fanny pack held my retainer-holders for when I had to take them out or whatever. I mean, once I left it at the baseball diamond and I might’ve ran as fast as I could to…
I’ve been thinking a lot lately. I’ve been thinking about throwing my worries in the Grand Canyon. And about how perfect tiny strawberries can be turned into edible gems! And I’ve been thinking about strawberry shortcake, and how I want to eat every single remix of it. You can’t have too many shortcake versions. Just like you can’t have too many chocolate chip cookie variations! This shortcake remix is just about as good as the Mariah…
While baking these I might’ve been looking up 90’s Mariah Carey to blare. Sometimes you just need to sing along to Fantasy or Always Be My Baby while baking cookies, ya know? I hope you like these so much you get mad at them. I hope you have good intentions (like I did) to just half a cookie at a time… and save the rest for the next day, but instead eat it out of…
I can’t eat oatmeal on it’s own: in a bowl, topped with milk, at the table. I just can’t. But I promise that I will eat it in cookies, scones, and muffins. I will eat these guys standing in the kitchen, over my computer, with a fork (when they’re too hot), and in my backyard with the pup. Breakfast is my favorite. I wake up hungry. And so, on the weekend, I daydream about warm biscuits,…
There are some things in life you just HAVE to do. If you find a dress at Anthropologie worth loving, and it’s on sale for $30 plus it fits you perfectly, you have to buy it. If you’re feeling down in the dumps, and you’re wearing sunglasses instead of make-up then you should get pizza and breadsticks for lunch. You should eat it with your BFF who won’t judge your lack of mascara. If your…
